HC held that denial of cross-examination did not vitiate the assessment where the proceedings under section 153C were founded on seized loose sheets recovered during search, not on the statement of the person whose cross-examination was sought. Applying Andaman Timber Industries, the Court found that the statement was only corroborative and was not used as the basis of the assessment or penalty.

The writ petitions were dismissed, with liberty to pursue the appellate remedy.
